Nature has consistently inspired engineering applications. Recently, a group of researchers drew new inspirations from the vascular network and developed a new type of fluidic system named VasFluidics ...
The vascular system is the body’s essential infrastructure for regeneration—delivering oxygen, nutrients, and signaling cues that coordinate tissue repair. Over time, however, this regenerative ...
Before tissue-engineered blood vessels reach the clinic, they must withstand the mechanical stresses of the vascular system—an assessment that is essential, but often expensive. One University of ...
3D tissue printing startup Prellis Biologics has assembled $8.7 million in new funding alongside positive news from the first transplantation of its vascular tissue scaffolds into animals. The San ...
Researchers face a fundamental challenge as they seek to scale up human tissue regeneration from small lab samples to full-size tissues and organs: how to establish a vascular system that delivers ...
Within our bodies, cells survive by being chatty: They rely on a network of blood vessels to communicate with one another and receive vital nutrients. Replicating this cell crosstalk in a lab is less ...
Your circulatory system works all day, every day, to pump oxygen throughout your body. There are cardiovascular conditions that can impact this system. Your circulatory system, also known as your ...
TEMPE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tempe-based interventional nephrologists Randy Cooper, MD and Umar Waheed, MD, and their team at SKI Vascular Center, this week became the first ambulatory surgical ...
There is a global shortage of transplantable organs, from which have emerged two main approaches to solving this issue: xenotransplantation and bioengineering. With all the news in pig-to-human organ ...
Steatotic liver disease (commonly called fatty liver disease) progresses silently. Even in the absence of noticeable symptoms, changes begin to unfold inside the liver. While hepatic fat accumulation ...
For years, doctors have warned that carrying excess weight is bad for the heart and blood vessels. Now, a major body of ...
